Things to do in Lake Lucerne
Lake Lucerne is situated in the heart of Switzerland and is one of the most famous destinations for lovers of the beauty of nature. Its complicated shape and the four arms extending into different valleys between towering mountains remind travellers of the landscape of the fjords.
Five historic paddle wheel boats and several other modern boats are active on several routes to reach the major excursion destinations like the cableways of the Rigi, of the Pilatus, of the Bürgenstock and of the Klewenalp. These destinations guarantee great hikes and excursions in summertime, and exciting skiing in wintertime. Several national cycling and walking trails cross the lake.
The most famous touristic destination on the lake is the city of Lucerne, with its medieval centre, the famous Chapel Bridge and the Swiss Museum of Transport.

Reviews Lake Lucerne
“Had a great time, the bus tour was informative and the Yacht tour a great highlight. Lucerne Lake was sparkling, it was a gorgeous day.”
“Great experiences all day - cable car, cog wheel train, spectacular views from Mt Rigi and gentle cruise around Lake Lucerne with free time in the city. Relaxing and enjoyable day. Tour was well organised and the bus clean and comfortable. Our guide Michelle was excellent.”
“The whole experience was amazing from our tour guide Dulce, our “junior” tour guide and Bruno the bus driver. Dulce was very knowledgeable, patient and personable. The cable car, cog wheel train and boat ride all provided amazing views of the water and mountains. I highly recommend!!! Must do!”
